Problems solved by technology
In fact, most computing systems are not operational without some type of hard disk drive to store the most basic computing information such as the boot operation, the operating system, the applications, and the like.
Cooling gas leakage can cause a number of problems.
First, the cooling of the pallet is greatly reduced when the cooling gas escapes past the o-rings, which can lead to damaged parts.
Second, the leakage affects process stability because the ion milling chamber pressure is changed due to the cooling gas in the atmosphere.
Third, since ion milling is usually performed in a vacuum environment, cooling gas leakage changes the atmospheric conditions which can lead to inconsistencies in the product.

Abstract
An o-ring free cooling pallet for holding a carrier is disclosed. The pallet comprises a first clamp fixed to a planar surface of the pallet for coupling with a first edge of the carrier. The pallet also comprises a second clamp removably coupled to the planar surface of the pallet for coupling with a second edge of the carrier, wherein the second clamp comprises a spring mechanism for applying a force to the second edge of the carrier that is substantially parallel to the planar surface, the force for coupling the carrier to the pallet.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to the field of hard disk drives, and more particularly to an o-ring free cooling pallet for hard disk drive slider carriers.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Hard disk drives are used in almost all computer system operations. In fact, most computing systems are not operational without some type of hard disk drive to store the most basic computing information such as the boot operation, the operating system, the applications, and the like. In general, the hard disk drive is a device which may or may not be removable, but without which the computing system will generally not operate.[0003]The basic hard disk drive model was established approximately 50 years ago and resembles a phonograph. That is, the hard drive model includes a storage disk or hard disk that spins at a standard rotational speed. An actuator arm or slider is utilized to reach out over the disk. The arm has a magnetic read / write transducer or head for reading / writing information t...
